This morning as I was getting ready to leave for my interview, I saw a painted bunting at my birdfeeder! He hopped down and then the female flew over and ate as well. These were the most beautiful birds I had ever seen! The colors on the male were so vibrant. His head was a deep purple-blue, somewhat like an indigo bunting. He had yellow on his chest and part of his back and the rest of his back and tailfeathers were an orange-red. The female was a light green. I didn't get a good picture of them, but I'm posting the two I got of the male anyhow. Hopefully, they will come back and I can take some better pictures!

Lucky you! I would love to see something like a painted bunting. Of course, with hungry black bears roaming the mountains now, we're not even supposed to have feeders out.
